With over 25 years of experience handling probate in every county in Michigan, we understand how to hasten the process of estate administration with a focus on steering those faced with fiduciary responsibilities through this process smoothly and successfully.

We recognize the emotional and financial challenges associated with estate litigation. Our top priority is to lead parties to a sensible and amicable resolution and thereby averting complications, expense and unnecessary conflict as well as zealously litigating on the part of our clients when required.
